November 12, 2021: Weekend Report

Dear Saint Teresa Parishioners,

Thanks for your prayers for Father Hottovy as he deals with, and begins recovering from, COVID-19. He will be unavailable for at least a week. Anything urgent may be brought to the parish office to Jeanne or me (Aubrey). We will be happy to help you. Many of you have asked: Father Beardslee and Father Kipper are healthy and doing well.

Remember to come to the Bazaar this weekend!

God bless you!

Would you like to learn more about the Catholic Faith?

Classes are from 7:30-9pm on Thursdays in the Marian Room.

Anyone is welcome to join—for one class or for all classes. If the topic piques your interest, come to that class!

This Week’s Topic: The Holy Spirit and the Life of Grace

God’s Divine Life Within Us

One of the most profound aspects of the Catholic faith is that Christ sent his Spirit to dwell in the hearts of the baptized. Christ’s Spirit within us conforms us ever more to Christ, so that we can say with St. Paul, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Germaine “Gerry” Cummins, mother of Lee Hotovy and grandmother of Sada Wondercheck and Hannah Rutledge.

The Thrift Store brought in $2641 last weekend.

Hours for business: Fridays 4-8 and Saturdays 9-3

Please donate during business hours.

Seminarian of the Week: Caleb Hansen is the son of Corey & Monica Hansen of St. Joseph in Lincoln. He is studying College 3 at St. Gregory the Great. Remember to pray for Caleb and for his formation.

Speaking of Seminarians, the Bishop’s Appeal for Vocations is well underway! Our parish’s goal is $25,840. We have collected $24,103.70 so far. Please give generously to support our diocesan seminarians!

November is the Month of All Souls

  • Intentions for All Souls have been placed on the altar and will be remembered at Masses during November. If you wish to add intentions, please write them down and turn them into the office; they will be added to the intentions on the altar.
  • You may also write the names of the beloved dead in the parish Book of the Names of the Dead found on a podium near the baptismal font.
  • Plenary Indulgence Guidelines for November 2021: In order to avoid crowds coming together and to allow participation for those    staying at home, changes have been made to how one might receive a Plenary Indulgence in November 2021.
  • These three conditions are the same: one must make a confession, receive communion, and pray for the Holy Father’s Intentions.
  • Throughout the month of Nov (the days are not limited this year), one should visit a cemetery and pray for the dead OR visit a church and recite an Our Father and the Creed there. Again, these things may be done at any time during November.
  • Lastly, the elderly, the sick, and all those who, for serious reasons, cannot leave their homes, will be able to obtain the Plenary Indulgence as they join spiritually with the Faithful, completely detached from sin and with the intention of complying as soon as possible with the three usual conditions (confession, communion, and praying for the Holy Father’s intentions) before an image of Jesus or Mary, recite prayers for the  deceased (a rosary or chaplet, for example), or perform a work of mercy  by offering to God the sorrows and  hardships of their own lives.
